Teo Chee Hean: "$1.80 Chicken Rice @ Pasir Ris Blk 446"

[Leongsam]

even at sgd3.60 which is double that, eating out in sg at open food courts is truly affordable compared to all 1st world cuntries. thanks to the pap for bringing in cheap labor to keep cost down.

Yes an order of Chicken rice in Auckland is $12.90. The reason is obvious. All the staff of the restaurant have to be paid a minimum wage of almost $15 per hour.

In the past, Chinese cafes and restaurants bypassed the system by running their businesses based on cash transactions and claiming that all the staff were family members "helping out". Chicken rice cost only $7.50 at the time.

They all got caught out and prices have almost doubled as a result.

Singaporeans clamoring for a minimum wage system have to be careful what they wish for. It will come round and bite them in the bum.

Minimium wage for Singaporeans in Singaporean-protected industries.........why not?

WE are not fighting for minimium wages for foreigners....... their own govts are fighting for them......

( our own MOM obviously thinks their role is to protect foreign workers...... pui......)

This reminds of the $1 chicken rice promotion years back that sparked a nation wide chicken rice war and was the inspiration for a local movie.
The smart aleck hawker that started it was ambushed and kena hamtum by his peers a week later.

$1.80 chicken rice? Not discounted for minister meh?

The real Singapore is full of cock and shit.

 

[beteljuice]

bloody large bowl of soup...something is wrong

Is this part of the drive to tell Singaporeans that Singapore is the 60 cheapest country in the world to live in?
And only expats (with their much higher pay package) find that Singapore is the most fucking expensive country to live in.

LIES AND MORE LIES AND MORE LIES FROM PAP
I USE THEIR MOUTHS AS MY SPITTON FOR BETEL JUICE

$1.80 chicken rice still can make $$ for stall owner. But to given so much rice and so many slices of chicken plus kidney/liver is unbelieveable.

tch also lost touch with the ground with that picture, no way the chicken stall operator will charged $1.80 for that plate of chicken rice even thou there a promotion.

Sure or not? The last time I ate chicken rice at food court, it was $5. Eat at MBS food court, it is $8. With median takehome pay of $1700, where can afford to eat out?

In many countries large chunks of the population don't even know when their next meal will be.

The Singapore dilemma regarding whether to eat at home, at a hawker centre, at a food court or at the Island Country Club is a nice problem to have in comparison.

That's why the kiwis are living swiss standard of living. Higher minimum wages means more consumption capacity for the poor and is a boost to the economy.

I would recommend the kiwis to be the first to implement minimum income of $20k to all working age adults.

From the photo Chicken rice with chicken liver and quite big portion of rice. Teo Chee Hean write that it cost $1.80.
Anyone dine there please take some photo and make some comment. Does regular Sinkie buy at same price with same portion.

It will cost more to get there to eat that chicken rice. So, what's the point sleepy big nose is trying to convey?

How come no bandung drink?

Without prejudice,

Minimum wages do nothing to solve poverty.

The current annual income of a Kiwi in the minimum wage assuming an 8 hour a day, 40 hour work week is already NZD30.000 and it is set to rise next next year.

One in four Kiwi children living in poverty

BEN HEATHER

More children living in crammed homes are ending up in hospital, as a new report shows one in four children remain mired in poverty.

A new rigorous measure of child poverty released today shows that about one in six Kiwi children are going without basic necessities. This could mean not having a bed, delaying a doctor's visit or missing out on meals.

It also shows hospital admissions for children with medical conditions linked to poverty are rising. Tens of thousands of children are admitted every year for respiratory and infectious diseases associated with living in damp, overcrowded homes.

"I see these poor preschool children in crowded homes that are cold and damp coming in with skin infections. They are filling our wards," Children's Commissioner Russell Wills, a Hawke's Bay paediatrician, said.

Children, particularly the youngest, remain the most impoverished group of New Zealanders, three times more likely to live in poverty than those past retirement age.

And the gap between those going without and the rest is showing no signs of narrowing, with children born to solo beneficiary parents by far the most likely to get sick or injured.

But child poverty is also reaching far beyond beneficiaries, with about two out of five impoverished kids living in working families. Overall 265,000 children live in poverty, which is measured by children living in households with less than 60 per cent of the median income after housing costs.

The report, called the Child Poverty Monitor, was commissioned by Dr Wills after the Government rejected calls to start a comprehensive measure of child poverty.

Instead the commissioner recruited private funding from Wellington charity J R McKenzie Trust and will now report back every year on the health and well-being of our most vulnerable children.

It is the second report in less than a week that has shone a poor light on child poverty, with Unicef reporting last week that New Zealand was failing to uphold the rights of children.

Otago University senior clinical epidemiologist Liz Craig, who helped write the commissioner's report, said it showed New Zealand had yet to "turn the corner" of poor child health.
